A perfect clear winter sky is the best time to view the Milky Way!

Bombo Quarry near Kiama is a magical place to shoot astro. It has everything a Landscape photographer could ask for. We’d seen images from this spot for years & had a vision in mind of comprising this exact composition.

We originally shot this in portrait orientation with the Milky Way rising vertically from the horizon but opted to do a composite in landscape orientation as it was hard to fit all the incredible rock structures in one frame. While shooting this, it was soon apparent why locals call this the “Boneyard”, as on big swell, as the tide moves in & out, the rocks under the water sound like something of bones crushing! It was really quite a scary situation as the swell was quite big too & often shook the ground under us. But…it was all worth it!
